Christopher Nolan's latest film is a a three-hour adaptation of a nearly 3,000-year-old epic by the ancient Greek poet Homer. Does The Odyssey live up to the hype?⁠
⁠
Award-winning film critic Dom Sinacola breaks down Nolan's latest blockbuster project.⁠
⁠
Sinacola writes that Nolan grounds the fantastical elements of storytelling with historical grit, making the ancient Greek myth of Odysseus (played by Nolan regular Matt Damon, this time super-shredded) breathe with realism even as a bunch of crazy stuff goes down.⁠
⁠
The film brings vital life to a text many of us must’ve yawned through in high school, but Nolan still can’t quite write a woman character that transcends “woman character.”⁠
